No biggy, let’s get you caught up!

Lip fillers at Healthy Solutions Medspa is a no brainer. 

We personalize every treatment to your lips and your goals.

Let’s get into the beginngers guide to lip filler!

The Basics of Lip Filler – Finding a Provider

When it comes to Dermal Filler Treatments of any kind, it is important to take the time to discuss your options with an experienced and certified dermal filler injector. 

This means, seek out a professional who provides you with proof of certifications, is willing to show you before & after successes, and whose name either starts with “Dr.” or ends with “R.N”. 

Take your time, schedule a consult, and do not be afraid to ask any and all questions that come to mind. 

Stay away from the fast food version of dermal fillers and spring for the steak house. 

Now is not the time to cut corners – We are talking about your face!

How Long Does a Lip Filler Appointment Take?


It is no surprise that we are asked quite often about the aftermath of Lip Filler.

Appointments for Lip Filler are on average 30 minutes, however if it is your first time, it may be somewhat longer. 

This time would include having before photos taken, speaking with the Doctor or Nurse about your expectations, numbing the area and then having the filler placed.  

The lips have somewhat sensitive skin, so many find it is slightly more painful than the average Botox injection.

What Happens After Lip Filler?

Sensitive skin means swelling will come easily, but after the first 72 hours, you will find you have seen the worst of any unseemly aftermath. 

This also means that you may have bruising, however it will subside after 48 hours. 

Your medical professional will most likely want to wait 2 weeks for a follow up visit, so that the filler can be completely settled and the full effect can be seen. 

What is the Most Common Misunderstanding About Lip Filler?

The most common misunderstanding regarding lip fillers, is actually thinking that your professional made a mistake and over-puffed your pout. 

You may think that your lips are far too big from what you and the doctor or nurse had discussed. 

Good news? You most likely don’t have anything to worry about! 

Try to remember that although the initial swelling went down, it can take up to a week to see the full effect of the filler making a home in your new smile. 

So don’t give in to the urge to panic the next day assuming something is wrong.  Time heals all swelling!

What Can I Expect After Lip Filler? 

Just like with any type of dermal filler, you should avoid laying down for at a minimum, 4 hours. 

This will help minimize the chance of the filler migrating to unwanted areas of the face, or even just to another section of your lip. 

You should also follow the same rules about not working out for 24 hours after injections. 

Flushed skin will increase your chances of bruising, and sweat on open skin, even on the smallest of points, can lead to infection. 

I’m A Filler Pro – Are Lip Fillers Any Different?

Your new lips require a little more extra care than the average Botox injection aftermath you are most likely use to. 

Most obvious, but most commonly forgotten, your lips look temping right after treatment, but sorry! 

Tell those boys to keep the smooches at bay for 24 hours.  

Aside from the fact that you may be submitting your injection sight to unnecessary germs, the amount of muscles used when stealing a kiss, are far more than you realize. 

You may unknowingly shift the shape of your lips that seemed so desirable. 

What else should you look out for? 

It’s best to keep the toasts of the mock-tail variety for now. Alcohol acts as a blood thinner. 

This can increase your likelihood of visible bruising, swelling, and inflammation. 

Not to mention, alcohol can really dehydrate you! One of the benefits of Lip Filler is that your lips will be far more moisturized. 

Hyaluronic acid, a main ingredient in lip filler, is also naturally found in the body. 

Dehydrating yourself means altering the actual compound of the filler. 

Smoking has been shown to increase your risk of infection after getting lip fillers, so it should be avoided. 

Smoking also causes your lips to pucker, which can apply pressure on the lips and be painful after injections. 

Try to avoid smoking for at least 24–48 hours after getting lip fillers.

What Is The Major Takeaway for Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are an amazing way to plump up your smile, fix any asymmetry, or restore youthful moisture to your pout.

Rewind the Clock: How Botox and BBL Photofacials Work Together for a Youthful Glow

BBL Photofacial and Botox Doylestown

When it comes to achieving radiant, youthful skin, a one-size-fits-all approach rarely delivers the best results.

That’s why combining treatments such as Botox and BBL Photofacials can deliver enhanced and powerful anti-aging results.

botox bucks county doylestown warminster

What is Botox?

Botox has become the go-to treatment for smoothing away wrinkles.

Botox is a quick wrinkle reduction treatment that shows noticeable results with minimal downtime.

Botox reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (caused by facial expressions) by relaxing the underlying muscles.

Botox is an excellent treatment for reducing the visible signs of aging, but there’s more to youthful-looking skin than just wrinkle reduction. That’s where the BBL photofacial comes in.

What is a BBL Photofacial?

A BBL, or Broad Band Light Photofacial, is an advanced light therapy treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, loss of elasticity and clarity. It’s perfect for addressing aging skin concerns like:

  • Wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Pigmentation issues
  • Rosacea and redness
  • Uneven skin tone

A BBL photofacial works by sending pulses of light into the skin, targeting damaged areas while stimulating collagen production, resulting in smoother and more youthful skin.

Who Is A Candidate for Botox and BBL Photofacial Treatments?

bbl photofacial doylestown

Botox and BBL photofacial treatments are a dynamic duo for anyone looking to:

  • Reduce wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improve skin tone and pigmentation
  • Boost skin radiance and texture
  • Achieve long-lasting, noticeable results with minimal downtime
  • Reduce sun damage and age spots
  • Achieve brighter and more youthful appearance

Whether you’re beginning to see the early signs of aging or looking for more comprehensive rejuvenation, combing Botox and BBL can be customized to fit your specific skin needs.

How Botox & BBL Photofacials Work Well Together:

By combining Botox treatments with BBL photofacial, you’re treating both wrinkles and skin for a more comprehensive anti-aging solution.

1. Enhanced Youthful Appearance

  • Botox: Smooth wrinkles from the forehead and around the eyes.
  • BBL Laser Photofacial: Corrects discoloration, improves texture, and evens out your complexion for a radiant glow.

2. Treats Different Layers of the Skin. Botox targets wrinkles while BBL focuses on the surface layer of your skin, correcting pigmentation issues and enhancing the overall tone of your skin.

3. Boosts Collagen Production. The BBL photofacial stimulates collagen production, which helps maintain elasticity, smoothness, and firmness. With more collagen, your skin stays looking youthful longer.

4. Addresses Multiple Concerns. While Botox takes care of dynamic wrinkles, the BBL photofacial improves texture and pigment issues. Combining Botox and BBL photofacial treatments addresses all facets of aging skin and offers a more comprehensive approach to rejuvenation.

What to Expect During Your Botox and BBL Photofacial Consultation and Treatment:

During your consultation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan incorporating Botox and BBL treatments.

Treatments are non-invasive and can typically be done in under an hour, with minimal downtime.

Order of treatment: If you choose to get both the BBL photofacial treatment and your Botox done on the same day, your photofacial would be the first treatment done, followed by your Botox treatment.

If you choose to do these treatments on separate days or visits and will be doing your Botox treatment first, remember that you must wait two weeks after your Botox treatment to get the BBL photofacial. 

However, if you start with the BBL photofacial as your first visit, you can do a Botox treatment any day following your BBL.

While you may notice some immediate improvements with just one BBL photofacial, optimal results often occur after a series of BBL treatments combined with regular Botox treatments.

BBL Photofacial and Botox at Healthy Solutions Medspa:

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we offer BBL Photofacials,  Botox, and other anti-aging treatments for our patients to get the best anti-aging results.

If you are looking for a provider that does BBL photofacial treatments in Doylestown, PA or Botox treatments near Warminster, PA and would like to learn more, we’d be happy to schedule a consultation and guide you through your options!

The Rise of Injectable Fillers: Enhancing Volume and Rejuvenating Features

Injectable fillers bucks county pa

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the popularity of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, and at the forefront of this trend are injectable fillers. From plumping lips to smoothing folds and wrinkles, injectable fillers have become the go-to solution for those seeking subtle facial enhancements with natural-looking results.

But what exactly are injectable fillers, and why are they gaining such widespread acclaim?

Let’s explore the rise of injectable fillers and the transformative impact they’re having on the world of beauty.

Understanding Injectable Fillers

Injectable fillers, also known as dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers, are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and elasticity in the skin. Common areas treated with injectable fillers include the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), chin, jawline and under-eye hollows.

Evolution of Injectable Fillers

Advancements in cosmetic technology and product formulations have contributed to the evolution of injectable fillers, offering patients more options and improved outcomes than ever before. Today, there are a variety of injectable filler formulations available, each designed to address specific concerns and deliver optimal results. From hyaluronic acid fillers for volume restoration to collagen-stimulating fillers for long-lasting rejuvenation, patients now have access to a range of options to suit their needs and preferences.

  • Non-Surgical: Unlike surgical procedures such as facelifts or implants, injectable fillers offer a non-surgical alternative for those seeking cosmetic enhancements without the need for incisions or downtime.
  • Customizable Results: Injectable fillers can be tailored to meet each individual’s unique aesthetic goals, whether they’re looking for subtle enhancement or more dramatic rejuvenation.
  • Quick and Convenient: Injectable filler treatments are typically quick and convenient. The total appointment and treatment time is about an hour with minimal discomfort or recovery time.
  • Natural-Looking Results: When administered by a skilled injector, injectable fillers should produce natural-looking results that enhance and rejuvenate facial features without appearing overdone or artificial.
  • Reversible: Using Hyaluronic acid fillers like the Juvéderm or Restylane collection of dermal filler products, injectable fillers are reversible, allowing patients the flexibility to adjust or reverse their results if desired.

As the demand for non-invasive cosmetic procedures continues to rise, injectable fillers have emerged as a versatile and effective solution for achieving natural-looking enhancements and rejuvenation.

With their customizable results, minimal downtime, and wide range of applications, injectable fillers have become a cornerstone of modern beauty aesthetics, empowering individuals to look and feel their best at any age.

Whether you’re a newcomer to cosmetic enhancements or a seasoned beauty enthusiast, consider exploring the transformative possibilities of injectable fillers.

Understanding the Difference Between Clear + Brilliant and MOXI Laser Treatments

clear and brilliant bucks county pa

If you’re considering laser treatments to rejuvenate your skin, you may have come across two popular light resurfacing laser treatment options:

The Clear + Brilliant and the MOXI laser treatments.

While both are effective, there’s a reason why Clear + Brilliant has earned a reputation as being one of the most sought-after laser treatments for glowing and youthful skin.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we proudly offer the Clear + Brilliant because of its proven ability to deliver results without any major social downtime. 

Not only do our patients love this treatment, but it also wins award year over year by major publications.

The Clear + Brilliant laser, won the Shape Beauty Awards as “The Best in Office Treatment” 2024. “Testers reported that this skin-resurfacing laser treatment, aided by topical numbing cream, is more comfortable than comparable products. Each session lasted about 30 to 45 minutes, with the actual laser treatment taking only 15 to 20 minutes, so it was fairly quick and (relatively) painless.”

In addition, the Clear + Brilliant was awarded the Best Laser for Beginners and Best Laser for Glowy Skin by NewBeauty and the Most Worth It Non-Invasive Laser by RealSelf.

Let’s explore the differences between Clear + Brilliant and MOXI so you can better understand how to select the right treatment for your skin!

What is Clear + Brilliant laser treatment?

Clear + Brilliant is often described as the “baby Fraxel” for good reason. The Clear + Brilliant is a light resurfacing fractional treatment designed to target early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.

The Clear + Brilliant does this by creating millions of microscopic treatment zones with the laser energy in the upper layers of the skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger looking tissue, creating glowing skin with minimal downtime.

Unlike stronger lasers that can require days or even weeks of recovery, the Clear + Brilliant offers a gentler approach while still providing noticeable results.

By creating micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, the Clear + Brilliant stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This results in smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, ideal for those who want to prevent aging or refresh their complexion without going through a lengthy recovery process.

What to expect after your Clear + Brilliant treatment:

  • Improves signs of aging
  • Improves skin tone
  • Improves texture
  • Reduces sun damage
  • Minimizes pores
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduction of redness
  • Rebuilds collagen
  • Improves melasma
clear and brilliant bucks county medspa

What is the MOXI laser treatment?

MOXI is a a light resurfacing fractional laser treatment designed to prevent and treat early signs of aging and is safe for all skin types.

It’s often considered as more gentle laser option that’s ideal for maintaining healthy skin.

MOXI uses non-ablative laser energy to deliver microscopic laser beams into the skin, creating controlled damage that stimulates collagen production.

What to expect after your Moxi treatment:

  • Reduces sun damage
  • Reduces melasma
  • Improves uneven skin tone
  • Improves pigmentation issues
  • Improves sun damage

MOXI is a “prejuvenation” treatment for younger patients who want to stay ahead of aging and for those looking to refresh their skin.

Depending on the settings used, it is a low downtime treatment for people with busy schedules or those seeking gradual improvements. However, when the treatment is customized to be more aggressive, it can provide a few days of social downtime.

The Clear and Brilliant laser vs. Moxi:

How the Clear + Brilliant laser and Moxi are the same:

  • Both are 1927 wavelengths that target water and not melanin. 
  • Both are safe for all skin types.
  • Both are light resurfacing treatments.

How the Clear + Brilliant and Moxi are different:

  • The Clear + Brilliant can be customized to use both the 1927 wavelength and the 1440 wavelength with the Clear + Brilliant complete treatment. By combing both wavelenghts, the Clear + Brilliant can target not just pigment but also textural concerns that Moxi does not such as fine lines and wrinkles, pore size, collagen, and reduction of redness. 
  • Price: The Moxi retails between $650-$750 and the Clear + Brilliant 1927 handpiece only treatment can range from $350-$450 and the Clear + Brilliant Complete treatment using both wavelengths can range from $550-$600.

The Scientific Differences Between the Clear + Brilliant and the Moxi laser treatment:

Laser Wavelengths:

Clear + Brilliant:

Utilizes a 1440 nm, 1927 nm or both wavelengths depending on the type of Clear + Brilliant treatment being done (either Perméa or Original or a Clear + Brilliant complete treatment using both wavelengths).

The 1440 nm wavelength primarily targets water in the skin’s superficial layers, helping with texture, tone, and light rejuvenation.

The 1927 nm wavelength is more focused on pigmentation issues and treating sun damage or hyperpigmentation in a gentle way.

Moxi:

Operates at a 1927 nm wavelength, similar to the Clear + Brilliant Perméa handpiece.

This wavelength targets water in the skin like the Clear + Brilliant, addressing pigmentation and the early signs of aging.

Laser Energy:

Clear + Brilliant:

5MJ

Moxi:

5MJ – 20 MJ depending on the level selected for the treatment. 

The higher the level, the more heat and is a more aggressive treatment that causes more downtime.

Density and Coverage:

Clear + Brilliant:

With 8 passes of the Clear + Brilliant treatment, the coverage or density is 12.6%. If patient can tolerate more passes, the treatment can go up to 19% coverage.

Moxi:

The Moxi is able to go up to 20-30% density for patients that can tolerate a more aggressive treatment with more downtime.

Clear + Brilliant Treatment is Safe for All Skin Types

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Why the Clear + Brilliant Treatment is Safe for all Skin

The Clear + Brilliant laser wasn’t named “Best Low Downtime Laser” by New Beauty for no reason.

This treatment is amazing for all skin types and requires minimal downtime.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we can’t recommend this laser enough, and here’s why.

What are the benefits to Clear + Brilliant Treatments?

This fractional laser treatment is a gentle laser resurfacing treatment meant to rejuvenate the skin by addressing early signs of facial aging, sun damage, tone, textures, reduce the look of fine lines in the skin, as well as minimize pore sizes. It refreshes the appearance of the skin and takes it to a whole new level.

In addition to the improvement of your overall texture and tone, the Clear and Brilliant laser treatment can treat melasma and hyperpigmentation.

How does it work?

The Clear + Brilliant laser creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in the upper layers of the skin, which in turn stimulates collagen production and removes  dead skin cells. This is why it is so good for melasma, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and more! The results is refreshed and healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime.

How is this safe for all skin types?

The best part about this laser is that it is safe for all skin types, which is rare for a laser. This is because unlike other lasers, Clear + Brilliant is attracted to the water in the skin, not melanin. Most lasers cannot be used if you are tan or dark skinned, but the Clear + Brilliant is an exception!

Why You Should Start Laser Hair Removal in the Fall

Healthy Solutions Medspa

As the summer is coming to an end, the fall is the perfect time to consider starting laser hair removal treatment.

Whether it be for your underarms, legs, face, or any other part of the body, the fall is the best time to do laser hair removal treatment.

Why is fall the best time?

Having laser hair removal requires multiple visits to get the hair to stop growing. Although you will notice less and less grow back, the result is not instantaneous.

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we recommend 6 treatments, no matter the part of the body. If you do 6 treatments, 6-8 weeks apart, when summer comes along, you are smooth and hair free.

Toss the razor!

Summer weather and laser hair are not good for each other. Our providers ask if you are tan, do not schedule your laser hair, and wait until the fall. Winter/fall clothing is also way easier to hide body hair compared to our summer bathing suits and tank tops, which makes it easier to hide between sessions.

How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal is done to get rid of unwanted hair, and to avoid shaving or waxing so often. The laser is meant to damage the hair follicle to make it stop growing so often.

The laser itself releases light absorbed by melanin in our hair on the body. This is what damages the follicles that produce hair.

How to prepare for your laser hair removal treatment

Our providers ask to reschedule your appointment if you are tan or burnt from the sun.

Before your treatment, shave the day before or the day of treatment to remove hair above the skin.

How does laser hair removal Feel?

Many patients have described the treatment like they got snapped by a rubber band, and does cause a little discomfort. However, the treatment is very fast!

For example, laser hair removal for the under arms only takes 5 minutes. 

Pricing and Packages

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we have a few options for our laser hair removal treatments. We do laser hair on cheeks, ears, areola, arms, back, inner thighs, bikini, chest, chin, upper lip, legs, happy trail, side burns, face, and neck.

Price ranges from $109-$360, and we offer packages of 6 for an additional 10% off the normal treatment price.

To learn more about laser hair removal or would like to schedule your laser hair removal appointment, call us at (267) 332-5567.

If you are looking for laser hair removal near me and you live in or around Bucks County, PA and would like a treatment, contact us at Healthy Solutions Medspa online.

Ultimate Guide to Laser Hair Removal for Men in 2024

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Laser hair removal for men has become one of the most popular methods to remove body and facial hair for men. While you could shave, trim or wax, laser hair removal is the only way to get permanent results when grooming and managing body hair. 

While laser hair removal is sought after by both women and men, everyone’s interest and reason for it may be different. 

Why men love laser hair removal?

Men want to remove body hair for many reasons, such as managing ingrown hairs, getting rid of unwanted body hair, achieving smoother skin and more muscle definition, going fully bald, reducing folliculitis and taming inflamed hair follicles and bumps on the skin. 

Why do male athletes turn to laser hair removal?

Athletes love laser hair removal because it helps with less friction, chafing, and less to no shaving for better performance and muscle definition. 

Others who may just have excessive hair growth like laser hair removal to thin out or get rid of the unwanted hair in areas they have to regularly shave or wax in order to feel most comfortable. 

Those that regularly shave and experience razor burn or folliculitis, the inflamed hair follicles and bumps that appear after shaving, like it to calm these skin problems and get rid of it for good. 

No matter the reason for wanting to remove hair from the body, laser hair removal is the best and only option for achieving all of these results. 

How does laser hair removal for men work?

Laser hair removal works by light beams targeting the hair follicles underneath the skin to essentially disrupt the hair growth cycle, without damaging the skin. The light from the laser destroys the hair shaft to inhibit or delay future growth. 

It is only guaranteed that results will show permanent hair reduction instead of growth – however, depending on the number of sessions and your skin and hair type/color, permanent removal can also be achieved. 

Who is a candidate for laser hair removal?

Those with lighter skin and darker hair usually experience more drastic and permanent results. It is recommended that patients do around 6-8 sessions of laser hair removal to see more permanent results.

Does laser hair removal for men hurt?

Pain levels from laser hair removal differ among each patient. 

The treatment usually doesn’t hurt too much, depending on the patient’s pain tolerance and the areas being treated. 

Patients report the procedure feeling like a pin prick or rubber band snapping on the skin, but if the pain is not tolerated well, numbing cream can be used beforehand if necessary. 

What areas do men treat with laser hair removal?

Men receive laser hair removal on the back, chest, arms, legs, shoulders, neck, sideburns, bikini area, buttocks and/or abdomen areas. 

How long is a laser hair removal treatment for men?

Depending on the treatment area, the procedure can take as little as 5 minutes and as long as 45 minutes:

Laser Hair Removal For Men Treatment Area Treatment Duration
Back 30-45 minutes
Chest 30-45 minutes
Arms 20 minutes
Legs 30-45 minutes
Shoulders 15 minutes
Neck 10 minutes
Sideburns 5 minutes
Bikini Area 20 minutes
Buttocks 20 minutes
Abdomen 20 minutes
Amount of time it takes for laser hair removal treatments for men

How much is laser hair removal for men?

Laser hair removal treatment ranges from $100 – $300 per session, depending on the area you choose to receive the treatment. Men should choose a facility to receive laser hair removal treatment by the reputation of the facility. 

How should you get ready for your laser hair removal appointment?

To prepare for the laser hair removal process, the treatment area(s) should be shaved, however waxing or plucking hair 2-4 weeks prior should be avoided. 

At least 5 days before the treatment, any exfoliation, acidic skin products or retinoids should also be avoided, and you should not be actively tanning or have any sunburn. 

What can men expect after their laser hair removal treatment?

After the treatment, you can expect to have some minor redness and swelling, which will go away after a few hours. You should avoid sweating and sun exposure for at least 24 hours, so no workouts or tanning for at least 1 day following treatment.

No matter if you are looking for better comfort and performance in athletics, easier hygiene and grooming, relieving bumps on the skin that come from shaving, or just getting rid of excessive or unwanted body hair or ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is a great and safe option to feel more confident.

Hydrafacial is one of the most popular treatments on the market right now. It offers instantaneous results to patients of every age and skin type.

The Hydrafacial is like a power wash for your face, washing away impurities and dead skin cells while quenching your skin with much-needed nutrients. It’s a combination of a microdermabrasion, chemical peel and facial all in one so you get a lot for your buck! Hydrafacials can also be customized for your skin, giving you the option to add on boosters that minimize the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and signs of aging. As a bonus, red and blue LED light therapy is included as part of the treatment.

Laser Hair Removal vs. Waxing

Healthy Solutions Medspa

Tired of shaving so often, but not sure what the best way to get rid of unwanted hair is?

Look no further!

Healthy Solutions Medspa loves the laser hair removal treatment we offer. But what makes this the best solution?

What about waxing?

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure used to reduce or remove unwanted body hair used by both men and women.

It involves the use of concentrated light energy in the form of a laser to target and destroy hair follicles, which are responsible for hair growth.

During the procedure, the laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicles. This process then generates heat, which damages the hair follicles and inhibits their ability to regrow hair in the future.

Within a few sessions, hair growth is very little.

Why is laser hair removal better than waxing?

Unlike waxing, laser hair removal provides a semi-permanent result, if not completely permanent. You may need a touch up here and there, but with laser hair removal, the root of the hair becomes destroyed.

Laser Hair Removal requires no downtime as well, which is a huge plus.

With waxing, you have to continuously go and get treated every few weeks, while with laser hair removal, you are treated about 4-6 weeks apart, a total of 6-8 times, and results are shown.

Waxing never fully gets rid of the hair and you will continue going for years and years!

What areas can you treat with laser hair removal?

At Healthy Solutions Medspa, we do laser hair removal treatments anywhere on the face, under arms, bikini, legs, arms, back, ears, chest, and feet.

AKA, the whole body…

The Average Price of Laser Hair Removal

When it comes to waxing, on average, to wax an area like bikini, legs, or chest, no doubt is this costing between $50-$150. The likelihood of you needing to return once monthly is very high, so your looking at an average of $600-$1800 in just a year, but this doesn’t ever end.

The average price of laser hair removal is more than a session of waxing, but that’s because results last longer and the need to shave everyday is greatly reduced only after a few sessions. For example, an under arm treatment may be $130, but you only will need about 6 sessions until the hair growth is diminished.

When Should I Begin Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Laser Hair Removal is best when done in the fall because it is not safe to get treated with a sunburn or a tan. Read all about why fall is the best time here.
